1. Power Notebooks, Inc. plans to manufacture a new line of notebook computers. Management is trying to decide whether to purchase the LCD screens for the computers from an outside supplier or to manufacture the screens in-house. The screens cost $100 each from the outside supplier. To set up the assembly process required to produce the screens in-house would cost $100,000. The company could then produce each screen for $75. The number of notebooks that eventually will be produced (Q) is unknown at this point. a. Set up a spreadsheet that will display the total cost of both options for any value of Q. Use trial-and-error with the spreadsheet to determine the range of production volumes for which each alternative is best. b. Use a graphical procedure to determine the break-even point for Q (i.e., the quantity at which both options yield the same cost). 2.
